By default, files and folders in the model folder are shared when you share a model in Tekla Model Sharing. If you do not want to share all of the model folder files or folders, you can select to exclude some of them from sharing.

1. On the File menu, click Sharing > Sharing settings .

   The Sharing settings dialog box opens.

2. Click the Exclude button to see which files and folders in the model folder are excluded from sharing, and to exclude more files or folders.

   Some of the files and folders are excluded automatically from sharing. These files and folders appear on the Excluded model folder files and directories list, and they cannot be removed from the list.

   1. If you want to exclude more folders or files, click the Directory or the File button.
   2. Select the folder or the file to be excluded.

      The excluded folders and files are added to the Excluded model folder files and directories list.

      If you exclude a folder, all its sub-folders and sub-files are also excluded from Tekla Model Sharing.

      You can exclude files in several ways. For example, if you have a file called TeklaStructures.bbb , and you use the following settings to exclude the files:

      Option	Description
      (x.x)	TeklaStructures.bbb is excluded from sharing.
      (x.*)	All the files with TeklaStructures. are excluded from sharing.
      (*.x)	All the files with .bbb are excluded from sharing.
      (*.*)	All the files from that folder, but not from its sub-folders, are excluded from sharing.

   3. If you want to remove the added folders or files from the list of excluded files, click Remove.

      You cannot remove a folder or a file that has been excluded automatically.

3. Click OK when you have finished selecting the excluded files.
